Team Wilpers Veggie Burger
Thank you for joining us on Instagram Live. We hope you’ll try making this veggie burger to eat after your next workout.
Ingredients :
1/2 onion, cut into small pieces
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon curry powder
about 10 stems + leaves of cilantro, chopped
1 can of black beans (not drained)
1/2 cup almond flour/meal
3 tablespoons ground flax
1 1/2 cup grated carrots
1 cup rolled oats
juice from 1 lime
salt & pepper
How to:
Cook onions in a little olive oil until soft, then add garlic and continue cooking until garlic is no longer raw, but not browned and set aside.
Put the beans in a large bowl and smash with a potato masher (kids love this part!), keeping some of the the beans intact and recognizable. Add the onions and garlic to the bowl along with the remaining ingredients. Mix until everything is incorporated. Taste and add additional seasonings and salt and pepper, if necessary. Different brands of beans have different amount of salt, so you may need to add salt. The mixture should be sticky, but should be able to hold its shape. Adjust by adding additional almond flour.
With a little oil on your hands, form mixture into tennis ball sized balls. Then, using burger press or by hand, shape the ball into a burger. Wait 10 minutes to cook burgers so liquid can get absorbed. Perfect time to clean up!
At this point, the burgers can be cooked or you stored to be used later. Make sure the burgers are at room temperature when you cook them.
Cook over medium heat in a frying pan with avocado oil, if you have it. If not, use oil of your choice. Flip the burger carefully once it browns and gets crispy. Cook on the second side the same way, and then serve.
